Unfortunately I need to accept a route parameter with an & in it. I have this route definition. The id parameter will sometimes have an & in it like this X&Y001.
routes.MapRoute(
"AffiliateEdit",
"Admin/EditAffiliate/{*id}",
new { controller = "UserAdministration", action = "EditAffiliate", id = ""}
);
I have tried working around this issue in the following ways however none of them have worked. All of these result in an HTTP 400 Bad Request error in the browser.
Edit
This gives me Edit
<%= Html.RouteLink("Edit", "AffiliateEdit", new { id = a.CustomerID }) %>
This gives me Edit
<%= Html.RouteLink("Edit", "AffiliateEdit", new { id = Url.Encode(a.CustomerID) }) %>
This gives me Edit
the only thing I can think of (which is a "dirty" solution) is to encode the & yourself. for example something like ##26##.
make sure to check the decoding algorithm only decodes the & ids and not some id that happens to contain ##26## for example.
A better solution depending on db size is to change the offending ids in the database.

I'm learning stimulus and trying to get add a checkbox feature where you can mark an order as complete from the show page without using a form. I followed this tutorial, but am not getting the correct results. The checkbox does nothing when clicked and unchecks when refreshed; however if I manually set the complete attribute to true, the checkbox is automatically checked when loading the page, as it should.
I have a model "Order" with a boolean attribute "complete". Here's my show.html.erb section
<tr data-controller="todo" data-todo-update-url="<%= order_path(#order.id) %>">
<td>
<div>
<input type="checkbox"
data-action="todo#toggle"
data-target="todo.completed"
<% if #order.complete %> checked <% end %> >
</div>
</td>
</tr>
Here's my stimulus todo_controller
import { Controller } from "#hotwired/stimulus"
export default class extends Controller {
static targets = [ "completed" ]
toggle(event) {
// Inside the toggle(event) function, let’s start by getting the value of the checkbox,
// and put it into a FormData object
let formData = new FormData()
formData.append("#order[complete]", this.completedTarget.completed);
// Let’s post that data to the "update-url" value we set on the Todo row.
// We’ll set the method to PATCH so that it gets routed to our todo#update on our controller.
// The credentials and headers included ensure we send the session cookie and the CSRF protection token and
// and prevent an ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken error.
fetch(this.data.get("update-url"), {
body: formData,
method: 'PATCH',
dataType: 'script',
credentials: "include",
headers: {
"X-CSRF-Token": getMetaValue("csrf-token")
}
})
// We can take the Response object and verify that our request was successful.
// If there was an error, we’ll revert the checkbox change.
.then(function(response) {
if (response.status != 204) {
event.target.complete = !event.target.complete
}
})
}
}
Can someone tell me where my code is going wrong?
This is more a long comment than a solution but few things I see :
You create an empty form and append a single input with name
"#order[complete]" though your Stimulus controller is Javascript
and has no knowledge of # the such way you use in Ruby. Also params
names are usually model[field] then I think you don't need the #.
"order[complete]" should be fine.
Also you grab the value from a specific target for the aforementionned value with this.completedTarget.completed. Should you not rather pick the value of the input field ? and rather grab this.completedTarget.value or maybe the checked status this.completedTarget.checked
You are getting the URL to your fetch from a data attribute. I am not a stimulus expert but it doesn't look like anything Stimulus related. As of now you have written it this.data.get("update-url") but in regular javascript, something like this.element.dataset.todoUpdateUrl should work.
And just to be sure there is no confusion to about where you will
call this , just declare it at the top of your Stimulus methd like
this : var backUrl = this.element.dataset.todoUpdateUrl. And fill the url to your fetch as just fetch(backUrl,...
you pass the formData directly to your fetch body. If this doesn't work, try to stringify it and extract the entries like : JSON.stringify(Object.fromEntries(formData)). Also I am not too sure about the dataType: 'script', you may just omit that alltogether.
There may be other problems that I don't see. Also when you are dealing with JS, don't only look to your Rails console, especially if nothing hits the backend. Open the developper / inspect tool in your browser and monitor the console there, you should see all the XHR (async) requests made to your app.
If nothing happens, then your fetch is not firing and there need to be more investigations made..
Problem Statement: To auto-populate the lookup field I use durable Id assignment with name. For e.g. https://sales--dev.my.salesforce.com/m2p/e?CF00N0l0000051XXX=Contract-00000XXX&inline=1
Notice this -> CF00N0l0000051XXX=Contract-00000XXX ~ durableId=recordName In url.
Now, when the user clicks the New button to create a record on the VF page above URL is loaded in classic and populates the Name in lookup like this
Trying to solve: In lightning, URL is getting overridden by this URL
https://sales--dev.lightning.force.com/lightning/o/objectName/new?count=2 Is there a way to achieve the same URL in lightning?
Do you really need it to be an URL hack? Can'y your thing be a quick action? The url prepopulation would be more reliable there and work everywhere.
URL hacking in lightning is bit simpler, you use field API names instead of IDs. These are decent tutorial: https://www.salesforceben.com/salesforce-url-hacking-for-lightning-tutorial/, https://sfdcdevelopers.com/2020/02/26/url-trick-in-salesforce-lightning/
So, how do you know where you are, in Classic or LEX. Which URL to use? Have a look at UiThemeDisplayed variable, available in Visualforce and in Apex's UserInfo class.
IF($User.UIThemeDisplayed == 'Theme4d' || $User.UIThemeDisplayed == 'Theme4t' || $User.UIThemeDisplayed == 'Theme4u',
'link for lightning',
'link for classic'
)
Working approach:
Created a controller for VF page:
global PageReference newParty() {
PageReference pageRef;
pageRef = new PageReference('/lightning/o/Party/new?defaultFieldValues=Contract='+contractID);
return pageRef
You can absolutely do this with a button / URL hack in lightning with the Spring '20 release. The URL can use "defaultFieldValues="

My question can look stupid but I need to get in touch and get a decision. I want to pass parameters to url without the parameters being seen in the url. this is to secure my server. Because the url looks like this
controller/edit/123
and the '123' is the user ID in the database.
I can simple do this
public function action_edit($id) {
get_db_info($id);
}
Is it possible to hide the parameter while redirecting to this url from a view? ie in the view file
// Do something to set the ID
<?php Kohana_Request::post("user_id", $id); ?>
Click
and get the ID like this
public function action_edit() {
$id = $this->request->post("user_id");
get_db_info($id);
}
But the problem I can't access the KOhana_Request instance and get this error
*Non-static method Kohana_Request::post() should not be called statically*
Can someone gives a secured approach to this ?
I think I found a solution by encoding and decoding the parameters.
Since Kohana 3.3 do not allow parameters in controller functions see .
I do this in my view
$user_id = Encrypt::instance()->encode($liste->user_id);
$encode_id = base64_encode($user_id);
$encode_ure_id = urlencode($encode_id);
And from the controller,
$encoded_id = urldecode($this->request->param('uri_id'));
$encode_base_url = base64_decode($encoded_id);
$user_id = Encrypt::instance()->decode($encode_base_url);
If this can help others.
My first post here, hopefully It will be right! =)
I am creating a site to manage web application development using symfony 1.4 and doctrine.
My records consist for this problem of Project and ProjectFeatures
Now what I want to do is use the admin generator to let users manage the features for one project thru a link constraining all the returned features by project_id, that would look like: http://mysite/member/project/:project_id/features
in my routing.yml configuration, I have:
member_project_feature:
class: sfDoctrineRouteCollection
options:
model: ProjectFeature
module: memberProjectFeature
prefix_path: /member/project/:project_id/features
with_show: true
column: id
with_wildcard_routes: true
project_id is an existing column in the model ProjectFeature,
I will use a custom query to retrieve features only by that project_id.
Now I can generate a url to link to that admin generator module without error using:
url_for('member_project_feature', array('project_id' => $project['id']))
And the routing system does recognise the url:
May 04 14:30:59 symfony [info] {sfPatternRouting} Match route "member_project_feature" (/member/project/:project_id/features.:sf_format) for /member/project/1/features with parameters array ( 'module' => 'memberProjectFeature', 'action' => 'index', 'sf_format' => 'html', 'project_id' => '1',)
But the admin generator can't generate it's links inside it's templates with that prefix_path and returns error InvalidArgumentException with message The "/member/project/:project_id/features/:action/action.:sf_format" route has some missing mandatory parameters (:project_id).
Any idea?
Well I found my answer at this url: http://www.blogs.uni-osnabrueck.de/rotapken/?s=symfony
But I will give it here and shorten it because, stackoverflow is awesome and it should be there for a long time =)
1st - The routing configuration I used in my question is valid.
2nd - You need to add a method in the action file generated by the admin
public function execute($sfRequest)
{
// taken from http://www.blogs.uni-osnabrueck.de/rotapken/?s=symfony
$this->forward404Unless(
$project_id = $sfRequest->getUrlParameter('project_id'));
$this->forward404Unless(
$this->project = Doctrine::getTable('ttcWebProject')->find($project_id));
$this->getContext()->getRouting()
->setDefaultParameter('project_id', $project_id);
if ($id = $sfRequest->getUrlParameter('id'))
{
$this->getContext()->getRouting()->setDefaultParameter('id', $id);
}
$result = parent::execute($sfRequest);
return $result;
}
At this point the url gets generated correctly but here is the last step to get to the end result you most probably want to achieve:
3rd - To get the list by project_id I can either provide a table method in the generator.yml, a default value to the getFilterDefaults or this method in the action file:
protected function buildQuery ()
{
$q = parent::buildQuery();
$rootAlias = $q->getRootAlias();
$q->andWhere("{$rootAlias}.project_id = ?",
$this->getRequest()->getUrlParameter('project_id'));
return $q;
}
I'm not 100% certain about what you're trying to do here, but it sounds like you need the ProjectFeature::toParams method return the project_id.
I have a form. I am trying to validate it through AJAX GET requests.
So i am trying to send the field values in the GET request data.
$('#uxMyForm').serialize();
the problem it is returning something undecipherable. I have used serialize before. This is totally bizzare.
the return value of serialize is
actionsign_upcontrollersitedataauthenticity_token=oRKIDOlPRqfnRehedcRRD7WXt6%2FQ0zLeQqwIahJZJfE%3D&customer%5BuxName%5D=&customer%5BuxEmail%5D=&customer%5BuxResidentialPhone%5D=&customer%5BuxMobilePhone%5D=&customer%5BuxDateOfBirth%5D=&customer%5BuxAddress%5D=&customer%5BuxResidentialStatus%5D=
i have no idea how to use this.
Thanks
update:
My question is how do i process such a request? like this?
puts params[:data][:customer][:uxName]
my GET request trigger looks like this
$.get('/site/sign_up',{data : $('#uxMyForm').serialize() }, function(data){
alert(data);
});
The above jquery lines generate the request.. on the action method i do the following
render :text => params
when i observe what is sent in the GET,in firebug PARAMS
**data** authenticity_token=oRKIDOlPRqfnRehedcRRD7WXt6%2FQ0zLeQqwIahJZJfE%3D&direct_customer%5BuxName%5D=&direct_customer%5BuxEmail%5D=&direct_customer%5BuxResidentialPhone%5D=&direct_customer%5BuxMobilePhone%5D=&direct_customer%5BuxDateOfBirth%5D=&direct_customer%5BuxAddress%5D=&direct_customer%5BuxResidentialStatus%5D=
the return value that i print in alert has
actionsign_upcontrollersitedataauthenticity_token=oRKIDOlPRqfnRehedcRRD7WXt6%2FQ0zLeQqwIahJZJfE%3D&direct_customer%5BuxName%5D=&direct_customer%5BuxEmail%5D=&direct_customer%5BuxResidentialPhone%5D=&direct_customer%5BuxMobilePhone%5D=&direct_customer%5BuxDateOfBirth%5D=&direct_customer%5BuxAddress%5D=&direct_customer%5BuxResidentialStatus%5D=
How does the form itself look. I have no experience with Ruby on rails - and if it builds the form in a new exciting way - but it looks as if there's only two form elements: authenticity_token and customer - where customer is an array of items. This is the data you posted, but I urldecoded it and put in some linebreaks:
authenticity_token=oRKIDOlPRqfnRehedcRRD7WXt6/Q0zLeQqwIahJZJfE=
&customer[uxName]=
&customer[uxEmail]=
&customer[uxResidentialPhone]=
&customer[uxMobilePhone]=
&customer[uxDateOfBirth]=
&customer[uxAddress]=
&customer[uxResidentialStatus]=
What you could do is to serialize the form to an array and clean it up before sending it using jQuery ajax request. I did something similar once when I had to serialize .net runat-server form elements:
var serializedData = $(form).serializeArray();
for( i=0; i < serializedData.length; i++)
{
// For each item in the array I get the input-field name after the last $ character
var name = serializedData[i].name;
var value = serializedData[i].value;
if( name.indexOf('$') != -1)
name = name.substr( name.lastIndexOf('$')+1 );
serializedData[i].name = name;
}
var ajaxPostData = $.param(serializedData);
So instad of blabla$ABCPlaceHolder$tbxEmail I got tbxEmail in the array. You could do the same to get uxName, uxEmail etc instead of the customer array.
Note then again, however, due to my inexperience with ruby that this may not be the best solution - maybe there's a setting you can change to build the HTML form differently?
Updated:
I'm not sure how ruby works, but after a googling I found you should be able to receive your values using params:customer as an array.
params:customer should contain an array of the values
{:uxName => "", :uxEmail => "" }
I hope that tells you something on how to receive the data. Maybe (warning - wild guess!) like this?
params[:customer][:uxName]
